I would say 6.5/10 is an accurate rating. I would disagree about the placement of the F-16s and A-10s. It allowed me to stand back and get some decent pictures with as many people milling around. ...

BTW... casual air show goers are getting dumber and dumber. When you see a guy pointing a camera at a plane, do you... a) Keep walking right in front of him while looking at the camera hoping to be on film? or b) Stop pause for a moment / make a small diversion around him? $#@&%!!@&* (serenity now... serenity now...)

...Enough of that rant. I think a good fix for the problem of the placement of the F-16s and the A-10s would be to fill the huge spaces around them with more planes. A CP-140 would have been nice. I noticed the C-17 didn't show, so maybe some of that space was reserved for it. etc.

For those that may be interested I created a Webshots album for the pictures I have shot at Trenton. Despite the rain, most of the pictures came out well. They can be viewed at...

...I have only started by putting up pics of the CT-133 133190. An impressive paint job I think. Does anyone know if it maintained in flying condition? I suspect not. The album has a "before" shot of 190 taken in 2000 shortly after the majority of the CT-133s were retired. More photos over the next few days will be scanned in posted.
